“Even though lawyers are a totem of American life, I had avoided them out of fear and mistrust. But my husband was seriously injured in a car accident two years ago and I didn’t know which way to turn. A friend recommended giving Jeff Benton a call. I sounded desperate over the phone; but he responded to my anxiety by making a house call. Sitting at my dining room table, he listened with patience, then helped me work through my options. Being sharp, knowledgeable and effective, Jeff Benton was able to settle my case and the hospital bills within record time. I am grateful for this attorney’s caring professionalism and would recommend him to anyone facing a personal injury crisis.”

Constance

Mr. Benton represented me in a personal injury lawsuit that happened while I was traveling from NJ (my hometown) to Dallas. This was my first (and hopefully only) experience filing a lawsuit and I was unfamiliar with the entire process and didn’t know what to expect. Mr. Benton was very professional, but genuinely empathetic, competent and most importantly, honest. He did not set false expectations and he was very patient, taking care to explain every step of the process to me so I was able to make informed decisions. I must say it was positively refreshing being able to trust him completely handling my case – especially since he was 2,000 miles away!”
